When it comes to news about Miami’s culinary scene, Miami.com is blessed with some seriously talented contributors. To quote El Presidente, we only get “the best people.” I mean, really, they are the best. By “they” I mean all of the writers for the Miami Herald Food section (Carlos Frias, Food Editor; Kendall Hamersly, Restaurant Critic; Victoria Pesce Elliot, Restaurant Critic; Jodi Mailander Farrell, Restaurant Critic; Linda Bladholm, Food Writer and many other contributors, including Miami.com’s First Look columnist Sara Liss and drinks columnist Amanda Mesa).

Presented by Johnson & Wales University’s North Miami Campus, this is the sixth annual JWU Zest Awards and the winner is chosen by the public. Voting begins now and ends March 7, 2017. Fans can vote at www.jwu.edu/zest.

BONUS: Another Miami.com contributor, The Hungry Black Man, has been nominated for the Reader’s Choice Award for Food & Drink Influencer. Starex Smith, the man behind the blog that highlights minority-owned dining establishments, has been dishing on his Miami favorites for Miami.com since September, and he never steers us wrong.

So, as a totally biased media outlet that knows how much heart our writers put into their hustle, we shamelessly want you to vote for the Miami Herald and The Hungry Black Man. You’ll get no fake news from our food writers. #fact
